City Slang

City Slang is an independent German label founded by Christof Ellinghaus. Renowned for its eclectic roster, the label encompasses everything from rock to post-rock and electronic music.

With a diverse range of artists, City Slang has become known for its unique and innovative approach to music. From established acts to emerging talent, the label consistently delivers high-quality releases that push boundaries and defy genre conventions.

As a leading force in the industry, City Slang has been instrumental in shaping the sound of contemporary music. With their distinctive style and commitment to artistic integrity, they have garnered a loyal following of music enthusiasts worldwide.

Zouj is the project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Adam Abdelkader Lenox. After releasing his acclaimed mixtape Tagat last year, here is the follow-up Metal. On his record, Zouj creates a hyperpop cosmos full of experimental and futuristic sounds that lose none of their catchiness. Both EPs will be released combined on vinyl.

The Metal EP feels like veering off the rainbow track in Mario Kart and suddenly glitching into the creepy mansion route. Wry synthetic sounds break out of the traditional song structure of pop, carving their own paths, yet ultimately never straying from catchiness. "I think the music doesn't want to be pop. Or it does want to be." Zouj's world is surreal and glitchy, experimental and glowing like a screen. Catchy and challenging. And, above all, fun as hell.
